TL;DR
High-volume providers have significantly better outcomes for vascular procedures both in the elective and emergent setting, and subspeciality training also has a considerable impact.
Abstract
High-volume providers have significantly better outcomes for vascular procedures both in the elective and emergent setting. Subspeciality training also has a considerable impact. These data provide further evidence for the specialization of vascular services, whereby vascular procedures should generally be preformed by high-volume, speciality trained providers.
